I think it is a little misleading to claim that Clinton has the 394 super delegates already. My understanding is that 1) super delegates can change their mind whenever and 2) these super delegate counts tend to even out over time if the race is close.
Re:Fantasy Sports Employees Bet at Rival Sites Using Inside Information

I think when assembling a team on these websites that you get some fixed amount of cash to buy players to put on your team. The website uses the data on how many people play each football player to generate the cost of these players. I think this means then that employees can use this understanding of the value of players and the relative frequency that they are chosen to pick smarter.
I think in general, one would benefit from accurately picking players with great expected values who are also generally under-picked.

While I agree with this perspective on athletics at a university, it does seem like it ought to be an issue with the school's academic accreditation. I don't believe that a university that practices this should have their degrees recognized this way.
I will say that I'm not really sure who values this certification though.
